Washington Commanders
Week 17 is not over yet, we’ve got one more game to watch on Sunday night. The Chicago Bears are visiting the San Francisco 49ers in a game that will have big implications for the NFC playoffs. They are both 11-4, tied for the second-best record in the conference. The Bears have already clinched the NFC North division title, but the 49ers are 1 1/2 games behind the Seattle Seahawks, and tied with the Los Angeles Rams in the highly-competitive NFC West. Huge game!
Matchup: Chicago Bears (11-4) at San Francisco 49ers (11-4)

The Washington Commanders hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day, and lost 30-23. The NFL had three games on their holiday slate, two games yesterday, and another 10 games on today’s full schedule. That’s a lot of stress-free football for Commanders fans to (tank) watch.
Fox only has one game on their late afternoon schedule, and it will be nationally televised. The Philadelphia Eagles are visiting the Buffalo Bills in a big game for both teams, and the rest of the teams heading to the playoffs. The Eagles have already won the NFC East, but only have 10 wins, and...

Fox has four games, and most of the country will be watching an AFC South game that has the Jacksonville Jaguars visiting the Indianapolis Colts. Philip Rivers is set to make his third start in a row, and still looking for his first win with the Colts since coming out of retirement. We’ve also got...

Commanders defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw drew the biggest fine; the NFL levied a $20,288 punishment because he “swung.” Eagles offensive lineman Tyler Steen was fined $8,436 for striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing and $8,435 because he “swung” ($16,870 total).

The NFL has two games on it’s Week 17 Saturday slate. The Washington Commanders hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day, and now we’ve got some more games to watch.
The Saturday night football game is an AFC vs NFC game with one team’s season on life support. The Baltimore Ravens need this win to keep their slim(2%) chance of winning the division alive without Lamar Jackson. The Packers will be without QB Jordan Love as he deals with a concussion, but they also need this win to keep hope alive to win the NFC North.
Matchup: Baltimore Ravens (7-8)...

Josh Johnson was solid in his first start since 2021.
Johnson had just five days to prepare for his first start in four years, but you wouldn’t have known it based on how he performed on Christmas. He looked calm and composed in the pocket, completing 15 of his 23 passes for 198 yards with two carries for 10 yards. It ended up being one of the best performances of his career; his passing yards were his fifth most in a single game, while his 65% completion...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Commanders’ fans. With the short week coinciding with the Christmas holiday, I have fallen one game behind with the Stats and Snaps. Hopefully this will still be of interest to the hard core readers who still pay attention this late in a losing season.
The Commanders started the Week 16 match against the Philadelphia Eagles with an unexpectedly strong performance for a team missing its star QB and key starters on both sides of the ball. On the opening kickoff return, Mike Sainristil forced a fumble to give the Commanders the ball deep...

If you though the Greg Manusky and Jack Del Rio defenses of yesteryear were bad, wait until you get a load of this! Dan Quinn’s unit make the aforementioned two look like the late Buddy Ryan.
The nightmare of a season continued for Washington as they fell 30-23 to the Cowboys at home. The silver lining… they remain inside the top 10 for the 2026 NFL Draft.
Below are my Studs and Duds of the game, followed by some notes.

“Even though it was a short week, we prepared well,” Johnson said. “The things were out there that we wanted to get done. We just had a couple of plays here and there that we left on the field.”
That is perhaps the worst part of the Commanders’ 10th loss since starting the season 3-2. The Commanders were competitive, despite being down multiple starters and losing more to injury during the game itself. Johnson, who had just five days to prepare...

The Washington Commanders hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas, and were defeated 30-23. That loss dropped them to 4-12 for the season, with one game left to play. With Washington out of playoff contention, fan focus has turned to next year’s draft, and where the team will be picking next April. The Commanders were projected to have the No. 7 overall pick entering Week 17, and that didn’t change after Thursday’s three-game Christmas slate.
The Commanders final game is against the Eagles in Philly. They won’t know the date/time of the game until Sunday. The Eagles host the Buffalo Bills...

The Week 17 Christmas slate of game switches over to Amazon Prime for the third game of the day. The Denver Broncos are visiting the Kansas City Chiefs in primetime. This is another division game that should have meant more than it does, but Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL and the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs. The Broncos were on an 11-game winnings streak until they lost to the Jaguars last week in a big AFC game.
Matchup: Denver Broncos (12-3) vs Kansas City Chiefs (6-9)
